Chapter 45 The Origin of Mutants
The next day, I had to go to work again.

Chi Ping worked until three or four last night, which was essentially to maintain social security and stability, but this couldn't be counted as overtime.

After arriving at the prison, Chi Ping searched the Internet for information about S-level.

The official definition of the Federation for its own S-class is "the guardian of the entire Federation" and "the pioneer of all mankind."

His political status is comparable to that of a Commonwealth leader, but his role is more symbolic of "ruling without governing." Similar to the Emperor of Japan and the Queen of the entire Commonwealth.

However, a careful search of online data reveals that the Federation's S-class ranks had always been four fifty years ago. Later, for unknown reasons, one of them was downplayed.

So much so that in the past fifty years, the propaganda tone has been changed to slogans such as "Three Guardians of the Federation" and "Three Pioneers".

There is no more detailed information online.

At this moment in the entire Star City, the person who has the deepest understanding of S-level is undoubtedly Gonggong.

In the hospital, Gonggong was half-wrapped in bandages. He had replaced the LCD TV in front of his bed with a larger model, and a pile of game cartridges lay scattered on the bed.

He was holding a game controller in his hand with a ferocious expression, obviously in the middle of a fierce battle.

"Are you okay?" Chi Ping pushed the door open and asked.

Gonggong saw out of the corner of his eye that it was him, so he continued playing the game.

"I've barely recovered enough to play games, but as soon as I start working, my old injuries come back."

He spoke seriously and took out another game controller from under the covers and handed it to Chi Ping.

Chi Ping didn't answer: "I came to see you for something serious."

"Then wait until I finish this round." After saying that, he emphasized again: "First of all, let me make it clear, I don't work."

The Crimson Fox Captain's ward was a single room. The locker next to the bed was filled with fruits, and some were even placed on top of the locker.

After the game was over, Gonggong saw Chi Ping sitting on the edge of the bed. He had already eaten four or five oranges and three or four bananas.

"You come to see a patient, but not only don't you bring any gifts, you even eat the patient's fruit?" Gonggong asked with a frown.

Seeing this, Chi Ping took out another apple from the fruit basket and handed it to Gong Gong. Gong Gong took it and was about to take a bite when Chi Ping pressed his forehead:

"I asked you to help me wash it, can't you squirt water?"

"I'm going to bite your head! I'll peel the skin for you and cut it into small pieces to feed you, okay?" Gonggong slapped Chi Ping's hand away and took a big bite viciously.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost calm, Chi Ping took the opportunity to bring up the matter of the fourth S-rank in the Federation. Gong Gong's face immediately turned serious when he heard it, and his playful attitude just now disappeared in an instant.

"The fourth S-rank was expelled for crimes against humanity."

Gonggong said.

Chi Ping was stunned when he heard the charge. One of the S-level honorary titles was "Pioneer of All Mankind". Now this crime against humanity was indeed thought-provoking.

“When I was at headquarters, I heard from the higher-ups that basically all S-class personnel were committed to protecting all of humanity and fighting against some kind of invasion.

"This 'anti-human' S-rank was most likely on the invading side."

"What invasion?" Chi Ping asked.

"How should I know? I'm not S-level." Gonggong spread his hands.

"So what happened to this anti-human S-rank?"

“The answer given was dead, but I saw it in the archives at headquarters.

"Many cases involving this S-rank are marked as 'unclosed'."

"So the person is not dead?"

"I don't know." Gonggong spread his hands.

"Did you know this was how his body was disposed of?"

"I don't know." He spread his hands.

Chi Ping was a little angry. He had placed high hopes on Gong Gong before coming here, but the result was not as expected:
"Hey, how come you don't know anything? What use do I have for you?"

Gong Gong immediately counterattacked: "Watch your attitude! I am of a higher rank than you, Xiaochi!"

The two of them were arguing a bit loudly, and soon, a beautiful nurse poked her head in from outside the door:

"Don't irritate the patient."

Gonggong immediately sat up and said, "Don't let low-level officials like the warden in from now on." "He's nothing!" Chi Ping was so angry that he picked up two baskets of fruit from the bedside before leaving.

After returning from the hospital, Chi Ping made two things clear:

First, it is very likely that the fourth S-rank is not dead;

Secondly, this S-class stood in opposition to the other three S-classes.

After arriving at the prison, immediately open the Stalker in the Deep Web and contact the All-Seeing Eye.

Liu Qingshan, upright and incorruptible:
"I want some information, and you quote the price.

"Fifty years ago, what happened to the Federation's fourth S-rank? Was he dead? If so, where is his body?"

The other party sent a 2 and a series of 0s.

After counting carefully, there are six zeros, which means two million.

Ikehira didn't.

"I exchange it for information?"

Afterwards, Chi Ping reported the personnel configuration of the Super Power Management Bureau's extraordinary power, and the other party estimated the price to be 300,000.

The All-Seeing Eye's intelligence comes from many sources, including what it holds internally and what it purchases from others.

There was still a shortfall of 1.7 million. Chi Ping scratched his head and suddenly thought of something that might be very valuable.

"Did you know about the battle between the mutants and the Super Power Administration last night?"

"We are currently collecting information. A master who is suspected to be comparable to the executioner has appeared, and the Star City Supernatural Realm is quite concerned.

"If you have relevant information, you can sell it for a good price."

Afterwards, Ikehira sold Shirahoshi.

“In the battle, there were only three people with a strength above the special danger level.

"The mutant Jin Guan, the Crimson Fox's Gong Gong, and the Hand's Executioner. Shirahoshi is only considered stronger among the A-ranks, but is nowhere near as strong as the Special Hazards who have awakened multiple powers, let alone the S-ranks."

Then, Ikehira added some more details, but he didn't stop.

"Also, I can provide you with the corpse of a Class A mutant."

The last sentence perked up the other party, who immediately offered a high price of 200 million to 800 million, with the specific price to be determined based on the integrity of the corpse and its abilities in life.

After the transaction, the All-Seeing Eye immediately provided information about the fourth S-level.

First of all, its ability is to embed itself into the opponent's gene chain, depriving the opponent of its ability and applying it to itself.

From this, it can be inferred that the fourth S-class is very likely to regard the other three S-class as prey, rather than simply siding with the invaders;

Secondly, the fourth S-class was killed by the other three. However, they discovered that the brain of this S-class was not inside the body.

This reminded Ikehira of how the Original Church had replaced his brain when they planted him as an undercover agent.

I hope this matter won't end up back at the Original Church.

Finally, twenty years ago, when the mutants emerged, the fourth S-class corpse disappeared.

Looking at it now, it is obvious that it has been used by someone to develop mutants.

All in all, this information was worth the money. After the transaction was completed, the other party repeatedly reminded:

If it is later discovered that the information provided by Chi Ping is incorrect, or the goods are not the same as described, they will hold them accountable.

As for the means of accountability, they are rather inhumane.

On the other hand, the simulator hadn't indicated the event was complete, which gave Chi Ping a headache.

The main content of the incident is [Investigation of Mutants], but the problem is that the investigation has now involved S-level people. Things are gradually becoming complicated.

 Brothers, due to the downplaying of the simulator, sometimes you can't tell whether you are in simulation or in reality.

  There is a simple and crude method, which is to treat all the plots as reality, and then treat the simulator as a game replay.

  If you can tell the difference, that would be best.
